to pick the mic back up ♪♪♪♪ I don’t know how
or why or when ♪♪♪♪ I ended being in
this position I’m in ♪♪♪♪ I’m starting
to feel distant again ♪♪♪♪ So I decided
just to pick this pen up ♪♪♪ And try to make
an attempt to vent
but I just can’t admit ♪♪♪♪ Or come to grips with the fat
that I may be done with rap
I need a new outlet ♪♪♪♪ And I know some —–

When I listen to songs, like this, I ask myself why is there even a debate about who is the greatest rap artist of all times. Just listen to the superb beauty of the lyrics, the flow, the timing, the delivery. What other rapper in history can rhyme like this, create lyrical masterpieces like this, speak to the heart like this, and tackle deep philosophical issues about the human condition like this? No one. NO ONE . With all due respect to Pac and Biggie, not only is Em the G.O.A.T, it's not even close . Not even close! Em is on a whole other level than any rapper in history.

Chorus melody lyrics on this is timeless. It's 10 yrs old. It could come out now still feel current. It doesn't need another name stamped with it. He's trying to sing on here. Tho he shoulda did the intro. That woulda been fun to hear.

NO matter what Eminem, Tupac, Nipsey, X, and so many others that I haven't mentioned at the moment are complete legends songs that are Rap! songs that are Meaningful! Actions that are Meaningful! and the generation now with rap is oh yea they all talk to fast can't hear them clearly or oh their boring, or just yea that is trash, not music. Like how these are people artist with backgrounds humans with talent some killed some still continuing the messages. And the excuse they talk fast like you even know what rap even is? Gucci Gang and all that shit is just poison in your brain hell it's not even music its a small beat and words on repeat over and over. You want real rap or hip hop look at the real legends! Tupac, Nipsey, X, Eminem, Logic, Lil Wayne, Kendrick Lamar, Ghostface Killah, Lauryn Hill, Andre 3000, Nas, Rakim, Jay Z, Notorious B.I.G.and so many others that Aren't listed but should be!

Lately I've been hard to reachI've been too long on my ownEverybody has a private worldWhere they can be aloneAre you calling me, are you trying to get throughAre you reaching out for me, and I'm reaching out for you

I'm just so fuckin' depressedI just can't seem to get out this slumpIf I could just get over this humpBut I need something to pull me out this dumpI took my bruises, took my lumpsFell down and I got right back upBut I need that spark to get psyched back upIn order for me to pick that mic back upI don't know how or why or whenAnd I ended up in this position I'm inI starting to feel distant againSo I decided just to pick this penUp and tried to make an attempt to vent, but I just can't admitOr come to grips, with the fact thatI may be done with rap, I need a new outletI know some shits so hard to swallowAnd I just can't sit back and wallowIn my own sorrow, but I know one factI'll be one tough act to followOne tough act to follow, copy, one tough act to followHere today, gone tomorrowBut you have to walk a thousand miles

In my shoes, just to seeWhat it'd be like, to be meI'll be you, let's trade shoesJust to see what I'd be like toFeel your pain, you feel mineGo inside each other's mindJust to see what we findLook at shit through each other's eyes

But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful ohThey can all get fucked. Just stay true to you soDon't let 'em say you ain't beautiful ohThey can all get fucked. Just stay true to you so

I think I'm starting to lose my sense of humorEverything is so tense and gloomI almost feel like I gotta check the temperature in the roomJust as soon as I walk inIt's like all eyes on me, so I try to avoid any eye contactCause if I do that then it opens a door to conversation, like I want thatI'm not looking for extra attentionI just want to be just like youBlend in with the rest of the roomMaybe just point me to the closest restroomI don't need no fucking manservantFollow me around, and wiping my assLaugh at every single joke I crackAnd half of 'em ain't even funny likeHaha Marshall, you're so funny man, you should be a comedian, god damnUnfortunately I am, but I just hide behind the tears of a clownSo why don't you all sit downListen to the tale I'm about to tellHell, we don't have to trade our shoesAnd you don't have to walk no thousand miles

In my shoes, just to seeWhat it'd be like, to be meI'll be you, let's trade shoesJust to see what I'd be like toFeel your pain, you feel mineGo inside each other's mindJust to see what we findLook at shit through each other's eyes

But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful ohThey can all get fucked. Just stay true to you so soDon't let 'em say you ain't beautiful ohThey can all get fucked. Just stay true to you

Nobody asked for life to deal usWith these bullshit hands we're dealtWe gotta take these cards ourselvesFlip them, don't expect no help, now I could have either justSat on my ass and pissed and moanedBut take this situation in which I'm placed inAnd get up and get my own, I was never the type of kidTo wait but I know to unpack his bagsNever sat on the porch and hoped and prayedFor a dad to show up who never didI just wanted to fit in, every single place, every school I wentI dreamed of being that cool kidEven if it meant acting stupid, Aunt Edna always told meKeep making that face till it gets stuck like thatMeanwhile I'm just standing thereHolding my tongue up trying to talk like thisTill I stuck my tongue on the frozen stop sign pole at eight years oldI learned my lesson and cause I wasn't tryin to impress my friends no moreBut I already told you my whole life storyNot just based on my descriptionCause where you see it from where you're sittingIs probably a hundred and ten percent differentI guess we would have to walk a mileIn each other's shoes, at leastWhat size you where? I wear tensLet's see if you can fit your feet

In my shoes, just to seeWhat it'd be like, to be meI'll be you, let's trade shoesJust to see what I'd be like toFeel your pain, you feel mineGo inside each other's mindJust to see what we findLook at shit through each other's eyes

But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful ohThey can all get fucked, just stay true to you soDon't let 'em say you ain't beautiful ohThey can all get fucked, just stay true to you so

Lately I've been hard to reachI've been too long on my ownEverybody has a private worldWhere they can be aloneAre you calling me, are you trying to get throughAre you reaching out for me, and I'm reaching out for you

i know eminem probably doesnt read comments but for the heck of it … thank you . this song means so much to me , havign a rough month with my mental health and this song makes me feel so much less alone . so thankyou

Almost a year. I'll miss you forever, Eddie. Grief sucks, but I'm okay. This song has taken up residence in my heart. There are thousands of others who may feel this way too, but I can only speak for me. It's mine.
